North Carolina Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in North Carolina
Summer is winding down, and fall fishing is right around the corner! We've had a blast this summer catching speckled trout, red drum, flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and more. Historically, October, November, and December are some of the best fishing months around Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, the Cape Fear River, and the surrounding beaches.
October brings our annual run of big bull redfish, with 40-inch-class fish commonly caught throughout the month, along with plenty of 18–27-inch slot fish. Speckled trout fishing also peaks in mid-to-late October, making for some great artificial-lure fishing.

While flounder season was too short to keep them this year, we'll still be catching some nice ones. Winter is also a great time to fish the area, with mild temperatures, lighter crowds, and excellent fishing during the warmest part of the day.

Did really good during the NC flounder season (Sept 1-14) we’re mostly chasing bull reds the rest of the time in the Neuse river and Pamlico Sound, with some slot reds and speckled trout in the mix. We have had a few encounters with Cobia, good casting action for Spanish mackerel, and false albacore as well.

Fall fishing is underway. The Spanish mackerel are right on the beach and in the inlets tearing up bait. False albacore are just off the beach a few miles in big numbers. We picked up a skipjack tuna mixed in with the albies the other day which was a nice surprise. Inside the redfish and flounder bite is going strong and up the Neuse the old drum are doing their thing.

Blue and Spanish have been off the charts! All sizes, a lot of fun, Spanish will be on the way out as it cools down. Flounder season is over Sunday and it was good like usual.
